The Fat God System - Chapter 187

Jane and Aric both stepped foot onto the castle without any expectations. They thought that it would be desolate or anything, but they were more than wrong.

There were all sorts of decorations inside that would be the most that they had ever seen in their lifetime.

There were chandeliers, paintings, ashtrays, and everything that had anything of large value.

If they were to get some of these back, they would be very rich back in their world. Of course, they could not, or else they would be caught.

There were not many people inside the castle, just a few maids and butlers roaming around. Thankfully, others were too busy to see anything.

“You there, what are you doing?” a voice called out to Aric and Serena.

They both turned towards the voice and saw that it was an old butler who wore an expensive suit. His hair was white and finely combed with jell.

“We want to deliver this package,” Jane said.

The butler walked down from the stairs and walked over towards them. All the time, the butler only looked at Jane and Aric as if he were suspecting them.

Of course, they tried to play it off. They both looked over the room to see if anything was looking at them.

If the butler comes over and sees that there was nothing inside the box, then they would have to be forced to silence the butler.

They would not go as far as killing the butler, but they were willing to knock him out. They could not afford to be seen at this place.

They still had to save Miser and Darren so that they could all find Mia.

When the butler walked over to the box, he quickly noticed that it was not even wrapped properly. There was not any indication that it was something from an official source.

Jane and Aric both looked at each other and they got ready to knock out the butler at any second.

Just when the butler opened the box, Jane and Aric both moved at the same time.

Aric used both of his hands to catch the butler’s hands and restrain them from moving. He was a bit cautious since the butler seemed old. He did not want to accidentally kill him.

Jane raised her hand as she looked at the butler’s neck. She was aiming towards the specific pressure point in which she could knock him unconscious with one move.

Seeing her target, Jane attacked. However, just as she least expected it, she saw the butler’s head move a little bit to the side, dodging Jane’s attack.

Then, the butler quickly got out of Aric’s grip and turn around towards Jane. With one move, he was able to grasp Jane’s hands and make her immovable.

With the other hand, the butler took Aric’s hand and did e same thing to him. With this, the butler was able to turn the tables on both of them.

“Who are you? Why have you come to this castle?” the butler asked as he continued to tighten his grip, hurting both of them.

“Aric! You should have held him still!” Jane said with pain on her face.

“I did! I never thought an old guy like him was strong!” Aric said as he felt pain in his joints.

The butler was surprised that the both of them still dared to talk to each other. He had used his full strength, which meant that they should be feeling immense pain right now.

“Answer my question!” the butler shouted towards them.

However, before either of them could say an answer, the door to the castle burst open. The butler and the two of them were both alerted.

When the butler looked at the entrance, he quickly felt a hostile reaction from them. They were not guests of their castle.

The butler pulled Aric and Jane away to a secluded corner where they could not be seen, but also peek at the entrance to see who had come in.

Jane and Aric both looked towards the entrance to see who had come in. When they say who it was, both of them were surprised.

It was Miser and Darren who both had their hands behind them. Then, it was the man from before who did not have any weapons.

They were followed by an army of bald men who had sharp weapons by their side. It was clear that they did not want anybody to disturb them.

The butler’s eyebrows frowned as he saw the group at the entrance. There was even a hint of familiarity when he saw the people.

“That’s Miser and Darren!” Aric whispered.

They were the ones that Aric and Jane wanted to save. they both looked at each other and knew that it was now time to get serious.

They both used all their strength to get out of the butler’s grasp. They quickly escaped from him.

The butler was surprised to see that both of them had the strength to escape from his grasp. If they were able to do that the first time, why didn’t they?

Then, Jane and Aric both walked over towards the entrance to confront the group and save Darren and Miser.

“Wait!” the butler said as he grabbed both of them and prevented them from moving.

“We have to save them!” Aric said with urgency.

“They are the reason why we are here,” Jane said.

Then, the butler’s eyes widened. However, he still did not let the two of them go.

“I want to save Darren and Miser too,” the butler said.

Aric and Jane were both surprised. They had not said anything about their names, yet the butler knew their names.

This meant that the butler had a connection to both of them.

“This is not the place to save them. We must wait until they get further into the castle,” the butler said.

Jane and Aric both stopped struggling and looked at the butler. Since it seemed that he knew about Darren, Jane and Aric both decided to trust him this time.

They both agreed and hid deeper away from the sight of the bald group. They waited until they fully walked away.

Then, the butler both took their hands and led them towards a corner of the room.

“What are we doing here? Shouldn’t we follow them?” Aric asked.

The butler did not answer and just touched the painting in front of him. Then, he tilted it to the side about thirty degrees to the left.

Then, the room started to rumble as a hidden door slid to the side. The previous empty wall was now a hidden door that led to a dark alleyway.

The butler then walked over towards a cabinet and took out a torch and lit it up. With this, he now had a source of light in the dark alleyway.

Then, the butler walked over towards the alleyway and walked inside a step. Before he completely went in, he turned towards Aric and Jane.

“Aren’t you coming in?” he asked.

Aric and Jane both looked at each other. Then, they quickly followed the butler’s footsteps and that led them to a whole new other room.

They walked up the stairs and continued going up. They were both confused as to where they were going, but it seemed that the butler knew the way.

As they reached the end of the staircase, they saw a large red door. The butler took out his necklace and showed that it was a key.

He opened the door and walked inside. When Jane and Aric stepped foot inside, they were both surprised to their core.

When they looked down, they saw glasses that showed them everything under their feet. They saw the castle interior from a top view.

“This is one-way glass. We can see them, but they can’t see us,” the butler said as he continued to walk forward.

Jane and Aric were both frozen while looking down, so they had to catch up to the butler.

When they reached the butler, they saw that the bald men were just underneath them. They could see Miser and Darren and the guard containing them.

“Where are they going?” Jane asked.

Then, the butler looked forward and followed the bald men.

“That’s what I want to know too,” the butler said. “Why would they risk going inside?”

That was true. Why would the bald men risk going inside when they knew that they would be arrested if they did anything malicious.

They walked in without care as if they did not care about being seen. This was weird behavior. We’re they planning something?

That was why the butler did not want to fight the bald men right away. He wanted to know what their goal was first.

With that information, he could stop them before they reached their goal. Information was the first key to winning a war, and the butler knew that.
